3 Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Sunday, July 8, 2018 Dear friends in Christ, Today we hear about two areas of sadness: one for Paul, another for Jesus. Paul laments that a thorn in the flesh was given to me, an angel of Satan, to beat me, to keep me from being too elated. (2 Corinthians 12:7) Jesus sadly admits that he can do little in his own native town, because the people have no faith. (Mark 6:5-6) Both men suffer from these realities. The first is a mystery that people have expressed many opinions about over the centuries: was Paul suffering from a medical condition, severe depression, or from being with a colleague who was driving him crazy? No one knows for certain, but clearly the situation was painful, and Paul in his distress asked the Lord to remove this thorn in the flesh: however, God s answer came back as a no which encouraged Paul to rely not on being comfortable and free from such burdens, but to live some way to with them and still be a source of Gospel light and life for whose whom he encountered. In this story, I always find people coming to mind who have done that very thing, in the midst of family crises, the loss of loved ones, maladies that would drive others to despair, and living situations that seem impossible and intolerable to me. Through all of this, these people who come into my mind, both living and deceased, stand out as examples of incredible grace in the midst of a world that can be very cruel, extremely cold, and incredibly divided between them and us. The people who flood into my thoughts were able to be vessels of God s grace and love even with their very real and very heavy burdens. Jesus and his situation also cause me to remember places, people, and circumstances that were, or are still, a great mystery, and a source of sadness. Loved ones who have chosen divorce because I need to find myself which means leaving one s spouse and children devastated. Parishioners who have turned away from God and their own Church not because of a personal crisis of faith, but because a priest said no to some request, or a fellow parishioner treated them unfairly and unkindly, or the Church itself articulated teaching that was hard to hear and accept (e.g., on the sanctity of all human life; on the need to be generous with what we have; on the value of family life even when walking away seems more exciting; on listening to the Bible and the Magisterium of the Church rather than to the politician du jour or the majority opinion; on the value of fidelity and honesty even when it s really hard to live up to these ideals; etc.). Fortunately, we still see people around us who are willing to embrace high ideals, and take the road of love and service. This weekend a young couple exchanged their wedding vows here in our parish church, asking God to bless their union, and the children they hope to bring into this world. Recently, young men were ordained to the priesthood, and their loved ones gathered with the local community to celebrate this commitment to service as well. Each day, we see people step up and ask how they can serve God in this very parish, and we gather with people each Sunday who make a public statement of faith and love by showing up to worship on the Lord s day and receive that risen and glorified Lord Jesus in Holy Communion, teaching their children the meaning of all this mysterious Catholic stuff. Paul suffered, Jesus was rejected by his townsmen, but they remained faithful to their mission, as do the people right here, and people like us throughout the world. Father Brown
